Democratic socialist India Walton says victory in Buffalo mayoral race "seems unlikely" after incumbent's write-in campaign

Buffalo's incumbent Mayor Byron Brown is poised for victory Wednesday in the city's mayoral race, after Democratic socialist India Walton said "it seems unlikely that we will end up with enough votes to inaugurate a Walton administration in January." Walton has not officially conceded the race.

Brown, a Democrat, had launched a write-in campaign after losing the primary to Walton in June. 

Brown, Buffalo's first Black mayor, drew considerable support from Republicans, real estate developers and Buffalo's police union in his write-in campaign. He called himself a "progressive moderate."
